FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compounds which are activators of glucokinase (GK), which may be useful for the management, treatment, control, or adjunct treatment of diseases, where increasing glucokinase activity is beneficial.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Diabetes is characterised by an impaired glucose metabolism manifesting itself among other things by an elevated blood glucose level in the diabetic patients. Underlying defects lead to a classification of diabetes into two major groups: Type 1 diabetes, or insulin demanding diabetes mellitus (IDDM), which arises when patients lack β-cells producing insulin in their pancreatic glands, and type 2 diabetes, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), which occurs in patients with an impaired β-cell function besides a range of other abnormalities.

Type 1 diabetic patients are currently treated with insulin, while the majority of type 2 diabetic patients are treated either with sulphonylureas that stimulate β-cell function or with agents that enhance the tissue sensitivity of the patients towards insulin or with insulin. Among the agents applied to enhance tissue sensitivity towards insulin metformin is a representative example.

Even though sulphonylureas are widely used in the treatment of NIDDM this therapy is, in most instances, not satisfactory: In a large number of NIDDM patients sulphonylureas do not suffice to normalise blood sugar levels and the patients are, therefore, at high risk for acquiring diabetic complications. Also, many patients gradually lose the ability to respond to treatment with sulphonylureas and are thus gradually forced into insulin treatment. This shift of patients from oral hypoglycaemic agents to insulin therapy is usually ascribed to exhaustion of the β-cells in NIDDM patients.

In normal subjects as well as in diabetic subjects, the liver produces glucose in order to avoid hypoglycaemia. This glucose production is derived either from the release of glucose from glycogen stores or from gluconeogenesis, which is a de novo intracellular synthesis of glucose. In type 2 diabetes, however, the regulation of hepatic glucose output is poorly controlled and is increased, and may be doubled after an overnight fast. Moreover, in these patients there exists a strong correlation between the increased fasting plasma glucose levels and the rate of hepatic glucose production. Similarly, hepatic glucose production will be increased in type 1 diabetes, if the disease is not properly controlled by insulin treatment.

Since existing forms of therapy of diabetes does not lead to sufficient glycaemic control and therefore are unsatisfactory, there is a great demand for novel therapeutic approaches.

Atherosclerosis, a disease of the arteries, is recognized to be the leading cause of death in the United States and Western Europe. The pathological sequence leading to atherosclerosis and occlusive heart disease is well known. The earliest stage in this sequence is the formation of “fatty streaks” in the carotid, coronary and cerebral arteries and in the aorta. These lesions are yellow in colour due to the presence of lipid deposits found principally within smooth-muscle cells and in macrophages of the intima layer of the arteries and aorta. Further, it is postulated that most of the cholesterol found within the fatty streaks, in turn, give rise to development of the “fibrous plaque”, which consists of accumulated intimal smooth muscle cells laden with lipid and surrounded by extra-cellular lipid, collagen, elastin and proteoglycans. The cells plus matrix form a fibrous cap that covers a deeper deposit of cell debris and more extracellular lipid. The lipid is primarily free and esterified cholesterol. The fibrous plaque forms slowly, and is likely in time to become calcified and necrotic, advancing to the “complicated lesion” which accounts for the arterial occlusion and tendency toward mural thrombosis and arterial muscle spasm that characterize advanced atherosclerosis.

Epidemiological evidence has firmly established hyperlipidemia as a primary risk factor in causing cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis. In recent years, leaders of the medical profession have placed renewed emphasis on lowering plasma cholesterol levels, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in particular, as an essential step in prevention of CVD. The upper limits of “normal” are now known to be significantly lower than heretofore appreciated. As a result, large segments of Western populations are now realized to be at particular high risk. Independent risk factors include glucose intolerance, left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension, and being of the male sex. Cardiovascular disease is especially prevalent among diabetic subjects, at least in part because of the existence of multiple independent risk factors in this population. Successful treatment of hyperlipidemia in the general population, and in diabetic subjects in particular, is therefore of exceptional medical importance.

Hypertension (or high blood pressure) is a condition, which occurs in the human population as a secondary symptom to various other disorders such as renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, or endocrine disorders. However, hypertension is also evidenced in many patients in whom the causative agent or disorder is unknown. While such “essential” hypertension is often associated with disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia, the relationship between these disorders has not been elucidated. Additionally, many patients display the symptoms of high blood pressure in the complete absence of any other signs of disease or disorder.

It is known that hypertension can directly lead to heart failure, renal failure, and stroke (brain haemorrhaging). These conditions are capable of causing short-term death in a patient. Hypertension can also contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and coronary disease. These conditions gradually weaken a patient and can lead to long-term death.

The exact cause of essential hypertension is unknown, though a number of factors are believed to contribute to the onset of the disease. Among such factors are stress, uncontrolled emotions, unregulated hormone release (the renin, angiotensin aldosterone system), excessive salt and water due to kidney malfunction, wall thickening and hypertrophy of the vasculature resulting in constricted blood vessels and genetic factors.

The treatment of essential hypertension has been undertaken bearing the foregoing factors in mind. Thus a broad range of beta-blockers, vasoconstrictors, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and the like have been developed and marketed as antihypertensives. The treatment of hypertension utilizing these compounds has proven beneficial in the prevention of short-interval deaths such as heart failure, renal failure, and brain haemorrhaging. However, the development of atherosclerosis or heart disease due to hypertension over a long period of time remains a problem. This implies that although high blood pressure is being reduced, the underlying cause of essential hypertension is not responding to this treatment.

Hypertension has been associated with elevated blood insulin levels, a condition known as hyperinsulinemia. Insulin, a peptide hormone whose primary actions are to promote glucose utilization, protein synthesis and the formation and storage of neutral lipids, also acts to promote vascular cell growth and increase renal sodium retention, among other things. These latter functions can be accomplished without affecting glucose levels and are known causes of hypertension. Peripheral vasculature growth, for example, can cause constriction of peripheral capillaries, while sodium retention increases blood volume. Thus, the lowering of insulin levels in hyperinsulinemics can prevent abnormal vascular growth and renal sodium retention caused by high insulin levels and thereby alleviates hypertension.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a significant risk factor in the development of sudden death, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure. Theses cardiac events are due, at least in part, to increased susceptibility to myocardial injury after ischemia and reperfusion, which can occur in out-patient as well as perioperative settings. There is an unmet medical need to prevent or minimize adverse myocardial perioperative outcomes, particularly perioperative myocardial infarction. Both non-cardiac and cardiac surgery are associated with substantial risks for myocardial infarction or death. Some 7 million patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are considered to be at risk, with incidences of perioperative death and serious cardiac complications as high as 20-25% in some series. In addition, of the 400,000 patients undergoing coronary by-pass surgery annually, perioperative myocardial infarction is estimated to occur in 5% and death in 1-2%. There is currently no drug therapy in this area, which reduces damage to cardiac tissue from perioperative myocardial ischemia or enhances cardiac resistance to ischemic episodes. Such a therapy is anticipated to be life-saving and reduce hospitalizations, enhance quality of life and reduce overall health care costs of high risk patients.

Obesity is a well-known risk factor for the development of many very common diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. The incidence of obese people and thereby also these diseases is increasing throughout the entire industrialised world. Except for exercise, diet and food restriction no convincing pharmacological treatment for reducing body weight effectively and acceptably currently exist. However, due to its indirect but important effect as a risk factor in mortal and common diseases it will be important to find treatment for obesity and/or means of appetite regulation.

The term obesity implies an excess of adipose tissue. In this context obesity is best viewed as any degree of excess adiposity that imparts a health risk. The cut off between normal and obese individuals can only be approximated, but the health risk imparted by the obesity is probably a continuum with increasing adiposity. The Framingham study demonstrated that a 20% excess over desirable weight clearly imparted a health risk (Mann G V N. Engl. J. Med 291:226, 1974). In the United States a National Institutes of Health consensus panel on obesity agreed that a 20% increase in relative weight or a body mass index (BMI=body weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) above the 85th percentile for young adults constitutes a health risk. By the use of these criteria 20 to 30 percent of adult men and 30 to 40 percent of adult women in the United States are obese. (NIH, Ann Intern Med 103:147, 1985).

Even mild obesity increases the risk for premature death, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, gallbladder disease, and certain types of cancer. In the industrialised western world the prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in the past few decades. Because of the high prevalence of obesity and its health consequences, its prevention and treatment should be a high public health priority.

When energy intake exceeds expenditure, the excess calories are stored in adipose tissue, and if this net positive balance is prolonged, obesity results, i.e. there are two components to weight balance, and an abnormality on either side (intake or expenditure) can lead to obesity.

The regulation of eating behaviour is incompletely understood. To some extent appetite is controlled by discrete areas in the hypothalamus: a feeding centre in the ventrolateral nucleus of the hypothalamus (VLH) and a satiety centre in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). The cerebral cortex receives positive signals from the feeding centre that stimulate eating, and the satiety centre modulates this process by sending inhibitory impulses to the feeding centre. Several regulatory processes may influence these hypothalamic centres. The satiety centre may be activated by the increases in plasma glucose and/or insulin that follow a meal. Meal-induced gastric distension is another possible inhibitory factor. Additionally the hypothalamic centres are sensitive to catecholamines, and beta-adrenergic stimulation inhibits eating behaviour. Ultimately, the cerebral cortex controls eating behaviour, and impulses from the feeding centre to the cerebral cortex are only one input. Psychological, social, and genetic factors also influence food intake.

At present a variety of techniques are available to effect initial weight loss. Unfortunately, initial weight loss is not an optimal therapeutic goal. Rather, the problem is that most obese patients eventually regain their weight. An effective means to establish and/or sustain weight loss is the major challenge in the treatment of obesity today.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Glucokinase (GK) plays an essential role in blood glucose homeostasis. GK catalyses glucose phosphorylation, and is the rate-limiting reaction for glycolysis in hepatocytes and pancreatic β-cells. In liver GK determine the rates of both glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis, and it is also thought to be essential for the regulation of various glucose-responsive genes (Girard, J. et al., Annu Rev Nutr 17, 325-352 (1997)). In the β-cells, GK determines glucose utilization and thus is necessary for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. GK is also expressed in a population of neurones in the hypothalamus where it might be involved in feeding behaviour, and in the gut where it might contribute to the secretion of enteroincretins.

GK has two main distinctive characteristics: its expression, which is limited to tissues that require glucose-sensing (mainly liver and pancreatic β-cells), and its S_(0.5) for glucose, which is much higher (8-12 mM) than that of the other members of the hexokinase family. Due to these kinetic characteristics, changes in serum glucose levels are paralleled by changes in glucose metabolism in liver which in turn regulate the balance between hepatic glucose output and glucose consumption.

Activators of glucokinase may thus be useful for treating diseases where increasing the activity of glucokinase is beneficial. Thus, there is a need for agents which activate glucokinase and increase glucokinase enzymatic activity. Such agents would be useful for the treatment of type I diabetes and type II diabetes.

Activators of glucokinase may also play a role in sensing low glucose levels and generating neurohumoral responses to hypoglycemia and may thus be useful for treating those patients with type 1 diabetes, which have a higher tendency to suffer from hypoglycemia.

Type I diabetes mellitus is a complex disease characterized by an elevated blood glucose concentration and polyuria. Secondary to the persistent elevation in blood glucose, patients develop devastating complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease. A major goal to improve the diabetic phenotype is to reduce fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia and, thus, avoid or delay the onset of diabetic complications. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial has indicated that tight glycemic control through administration of daily multiple insulin injections delays the onset of complications. However, such intensive therapy is associated with an increase in body weight and higher risk for development of hypoglycaemic events. Alternative treatments to achieve glucose control without these side effects are, therefore, being developed. The combination of GK overexpression in the liver and subcutaneous insulin injections provides better glycemic control in type 1 diabetic animals than treatment with insulin alone (Morral, N., et al. Human Gene Therapy 13, 1561-1570 (2002)). Moreover, overexpression of hepatic GK can compensate, in part, for the metabolic disorders developed by insulin receptor-deficient mice (Jackerott, M. et al. Diabetologia 45, 1292-1297 (2002)).

The present invention also relates to the use of a GK activator for the combined treatment of diabetes and obesity. GK, the GK regulatory protein and the KATP channel are expressed in neurones of the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that is important in the regulation of energy balance and the control of food intake. These neurones have been shown to express orectic and anorectic neuropeptides and have been assumed to be the glucose-sensing neurones within the hypothalamus that are either inhibited or excited by changes in ambient glucose concentrations (Mobbs, C. V. et al, American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology & Metabolism 281, E649-54 (2001)). The ability of these neurones to sense changes in glucose levels is defective in a variety of genetic and experimentally induced models of obesity (Spanswick, D. et al, Nature Neuroscience 3, 757-8 (2000), Levin, B. E. et al, Brain Research 808, 317-9 (1998)). Intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of glucose analogues, which are competitive inhibitors of glucokinase, stimulate food intake in lean rats (Kurata, K. et al, Metabolism: Clinical & Experimental 38, 46-51 (1989)). In contrast, icv infusion of glucose suppresses feeding (Kurata, K. et al, Physiology & Behavior 37, 615-20 (1986)). Small molecule activators of GK may thus decrease food intake and weight gain through central effects on GK. Therefore, GK activators may be of therapeutic use in treating eating disorders, including obesity, in addition to diabetes. The hypothalamic effects will be additive or synergistic to the effects of the same compounds acting in the liver and/or pancreas in normalizing glucose homeostasis, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Thus the GK/GK regulatory protein system can be described as a potential target of benefit in both diabetes and obesity.

The amplitude of glucose-induce insulin release is highly dependent on the action of the gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1 (glucogen-like peptide 1) and GlP. Unlike sulfonylureas, which stimulate insulin release at low as well as high glucose levels, the action of GLP-1 on β-cells is glucose dependent (Gromada, J. et al., Pflügers Arch 435, 583-594 (1998)). GLP-1 receptor agonist and drugs that slow the degradation of active GLP-1 are therefore under development as a novel treatments for type 2 diabetes. An alternative strategy would be to enhance endogenous GLP-1 levels. Of potential interest is the possibility that the release of GLP-1 and GlP might be regulated by glucokinase-expressing endocrine cells (Jetton, T. L. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269, 3641-3654 (1994)) and glucose-responsive neurons (Liu, M. et al., J. Neurosci. 19, 10305-10317 (1999)). It has been reported that the release of GlP by intestinal K-cells is directly controlled by glucose (Kieffer, T. J. et al., Am J Physiol 267, E489-E496 (1994)), and GLP-1 secretion from GLUTag cells is triggered by glucose through a mechanism similar to that found in β-cells for insulin secretion (Reimann, F. et al, Diabetes 51, 2757-2763 (2002)). Small molecule activators of glucokinase may thus be used to increase GLP-1 and/or GlP secretion and thus for treatment, modulation, inhibition, decreasion, reduction, arrest or prevention of beta cell degeneration, such as necrosis or apoptosis of β-cells.

The present invention provides ortho-substituted heteroaryl and aryl ureas or carboxamide or sulfonamide activators of glucokinase.

Further embodiments are clear from the appended claims.

Included within the scope of the present invention are the individual enantiomers of the compounds represented by formula (I) above as well as any wholly or partially racemic mixtures thereof. The present invention also covers the individual enantiomers of the compounds represented by formula (I) above as mixtures with diastereoisomers thereof in which one or more stereocenters are inverted.

The present invention provides glucose sensitive glucokinase activators, that is glucokinase activators, for instance of the general formula (I), which provides a higher increase in glucokinase activity at lower concentrations of glucose. This should be taken to mean that when the glucose concentration is low, then the glucose sensitive glucokinase activator provides an increase in the glucokinase activity, which increase is higher than the increase in glucokinase activity provided by the compound when glucose concentration is high. The compound may for instance provide a 4.0 fold increase in glucokinase activity at a glucose concentration of 5 mM and a 2.0 fold increase in glucokinase activity at a glucose concentration of 15 mM, thus providing an increase in glucokinase activity at a glucose concentration of 5 mM, which increase is 2.0 fold higher than the increase in glucokinase activity provided by the compound at a glucose concentration of 15 mM. For the purpose of describing the present invention, the glucose sensitivity may be assayed by use of Glucokinase Activity Assay (I) where the activity of the glucokinase activator is measured at different concentrations of glucose.

The glucose sensitivity of a glucokinase activator may for instance be measured at a glucose concentration of 5 mM and at a glucose concentration of 15 mM using the same concentration of glucokinase activator, such as a concentration of 10 μM. The two measurements may then be compared and if the fold activity at a glucose concentration of 5 mM (the lower glucose concentration)—in the above example 4.0 fold—is significantly higher than the fold activity at a glucose concentration of 15 mM (the higher glucose concentration—in the above example 2.0 fold—then the glucokinase activator is deemed to be a glucose sensitive glucokinase activator. In the above example, the increase in glucokinase activity at a glucose concentration of 5 mM is 2.0 fold higher than the increase in glucokinase activity at a glucose concentration of 15 mM. The increase in glucokinase activity provided by the glucokinase activator at 5 mM glucose may for instance be at least 1.1 fold higher, such as at least 1.2 fold higher, for instance at least 1.3 fold higher, such as at least 1.4 fold higher, for instance 1.5 fold higher, such as at least 1.6 fold higher, for instance at least 1.7 fold higher, such as at least 1.8 fold higher, for instance at least 1.9 fold higher, such as at least 2.0 fold higher than the activity of the glucokinase activator at 15 mM glucose.

The present invention provides liver specific glucokinase activators, that is, glucokinase activators, for instance of the general formula (I), which increase glucose utilization in the liver (i.e. increase glycogen deposition) without inducing any increase in insulin secretion in response to glucose. For the purpose of describing this invention, the potential liver selectivity of a glucokinase activator may be assayed by comparison of the results obtained in response to the glucokinase activator in isolated hepatocytes and the results obtained in response to the glucokinase activator in Ins-1 cells. Glucokinase activators, which show a significantly higher activity in isolated hepatocytes measured as described in the Glucokinase Activity Assay (II) compared to the activity in Ins-1 cells measured as described in the Glucokinase Activity Assay (III), are deemed to be liver specific glucokinase activators. The activity of the glucokinase activator in Glucokinase Activity Assay (II) (hepatocytes) may for instance be at least 1.1 fold higher, such as at least 1.2 fold higher, for instance at least 1.3 fold higher, such as at least 1.4 fold higher, for instance 1.5 fold higher, such as at least 1.6 fold higher, for instance at least 1.7 fold higher, such as at least 1.8 fold higher, for instance at least 1.9 fold higher, such as at least 2.0 fold higher, for instance at least a 3.0 fold higher, such as at least a 4.0 fold higher, for instance at least 5.0 fold higher, such as at least 10 fold higher than the activity of the glucokinase activator in Glucokinase Activity Assay (III) (Ins-1 cells). Alternatively, the glucokinase activator may show no activity in the Ins-1 cells measured as described in the Glucokinase Activity Assay (III), while showing a significant activity in hepatocytes measured as described in the Glucokinase Activity Assay (II).

Such liver-specific glucokinase activators may be particularly useful in patients that are at risk of experiencing hypoglycaemia. Since liver glucokinase is highly sensitive to the serum concentration of glucose, the blood glucose-decreasing effect of the GK in the liver will only occur when the serum concentration of glucose is relatively high. When the serum concentration of glucose is relatively low, the effect of the GK in the liver decreases, and thus does not further lower the glucose concentration in the blood. This mechanism remains even when the liver GK is affected by a GK activator. The effect of GK on the pancreatic beta cells is not similarly glucose-sensitive. Therefore a GK activator which affects both liver and beta cells may have a glucose-lowering effect even at low serum glucose concentration, resulting in a risk of hypoglycaemia. A GK activator which affects only, or which primarily effects, the liver GK will thus provide a treatment with a lower risk of hypoglycaemia. Thus the invention provides a method of preventing hypoglycaemia comprising administration of a liver-specific glucokinase activator, as well as the use of a liver-specific glucokinase activator for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention of hypoglycaemia.

Examples of liver specific glucokinase activators are

-   2-{3-[2-(2,3-dimethoxyphenoxy)-5-fluorophenyl]ureido}thiazole-4-carboxylic     acid ethyl ester, -   (2-{3-[2-(2,3-dimethoxyphenoxy)-5-fluorophenyl]ureido}thiazol-4-yl)acetic     acid ethyl ester, -   (2-{3-[5-fluoro-2-(2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenoxy)phenyl]ureido}thiazol-4-yl)acetic     acid, -   2-{3-[2-(2,3-dimethoxyphenoxy)-5-fluorophenyl]ureido}thiazole-4-carboxylic     acid, -   2-(2-{3-[5-fluoro-2-(2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenoxy)phenyl]ureido}thiazol-4-yl)-N-(2-morpholin-4-ylethyl)acetamide, -   [2-(2-{3-[5-fluoro-2-(2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenoxy)phenyl]ureido}thiazol-4-yl)acetylamino]acetic     acid, -   {2-[3-(2-cyclopentanecarbonyl-4-methyl-phenyl)-ureido]-thiazol-4-yl}acetic     acid, and -   {2-[3-(4-methyl-2-[2-methylpropoxy]phenyl)-ureido]-thiazol-4-yl}-acetic     acid.

Example 479 General Procedure (AA) {2-[3-(2-Cyclopentanecarbonyl-4-fluoro-phenyl)-ureido]-thiazol-4-yl}-acetic acid ethyl ester

To a stirred solution of (4-fluoro-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (9.5 mmol) in Et₂O (20 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere was added dropwise a 1.7 M solution of t-BuLi in pentan (22 mmol) over a 10-min period at −30° C. The mixture was stirred at −20° C. for 1.5 h and then cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (10.5 mmol) was added over 5 min. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for further 1 h before it was quenched with aqueous NH₄Cl. The organic phase was isolated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH₂Cl₂, and the combined organic phases were dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (25 mL) and TFA (25 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo, and added aqueous NaHCO3 to pH 7 and extracted with CH₂Cl₂, dried and concentrated to give a crude product which was purified by flash chromatography (Quad flash 40, EtOAc-Heptane 0:1->1:3). This gave 60% of (2-amino-5-fluoro-phenyl)-cyclopentyl-methanone as an oil.

The title compound (26%) was prepared from (2-amino-5-fluoro-phenyl)-cyclopentyl-methanone and ethyl-2-amino-4-thiazolyl acetate following the general procedure AA.

The glucokinase is human liver glucokinase N-terminally truncated with an N-terminal His-tag ((His)₈-VEQILA . . . Q466) and is expressed in E. coli as a soluble protein with enzymatic activity comparable to liver extracted GK.

The purification of His-tagged human glucokinase (hGK) was performed as follows: The cell pellet from 50 ml E. coli culture was resuspended in 5 ml extraction buffer A (25 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCl₂, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM mercaptoethanol) with addition of 0.25 mg/ml lysozyme and 50 μg/ml sodium azide. After 5 minutes at room temperature 5 ml of extraction buffer B (1.5 M NaCl, 100 mM CaCl₂, 100 mM MgCl₂, 0.02 mg/ml DNase 1, protease inhibitor tablet (Complete® 1697498): 1 tablet pr. 20 ml buffer) was added. The extract was then centrifugated at 15.000 g for 30 minutes. The resulting supernatant was loaded on a 1 ml Metal Chelate Affinity Chromatography (MCAC) Column charged with Ni²⁺. The column is washed with 2 volumes buffer A containing 20 mM imidazole and the bound his-tagged hGK is subsequently eluted using a 20 minute gradient of 20 to 500 mM imididazol in buffer A. Fractions are examined using SDS-gel-electrophoresis, and fractions containing hGK (MW: 52 KDa) are pooled. Finally a gelfiltration step is used for final polishing and buffer exchange. hGK containing fractions are loaded onto a Superdex 75 (16/60) gelfiltration column and eluted with Buffer B (25 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM MgCl₂, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Dithiothreitol). The purified hGK is examined by SDS-gel electrophoresis and MALDI mass spectrometry and finally 20% glycerol is added before freezing. The yield from 50 ml E. coli culture is generally approximately 2-3 mg hGK with a purity>90%.

The compound to be tested is added into the well in final 2.5% DMSO concentration in an amount sufficient to give a desired concentration of compound, for instance 1, 5, 10, 25 or 50 μM. The reaction starts after glucose is added to a final concentration of 2, 5, 10 or 15 mM. The assay uses a 96-well UV plate and the final assay volume used is 200 μl/well. The plate is incubated at 25° C. for 5 min and kinetics is measured at 340 nm in SpectraMax every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. Results for each compound are expressed as the fold activation of the glucokinase activity compared to the activation of the glucokinase enzyme in an assay without compound after having been subtracted from a “blank”, which is without glucokinase enzyme and without compound. The compounds in each of the Examples exhibits activation of glucokinase in this assay. A compound, which at a concentration of at or below 30 μM gives 1.5-fold higher glucokinase activity than the result from the assay without compound, is deemed to be an activator of glucokinase.

The glucose sensitivity of the compounds are measured at a compound concentration of 10 μM and at glucose concentrations of 5 and 15 mM.

Determination of Glycogen Deposition in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes:

Hepatocytes are isolated from rats fed ad libitum by a two-step perfusion technique. Cell viability, assessed by trypan blue exclusion, is consistently greater than 80%. Cells are plated onto collagen-coated 96-well plates in basal medium (Medium 199 (5.5 mM glucose) supplemented with 0.1 μM dexamethasone, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine and 1 nM insulin) with 4% FCS at a cell density of 30,000 cells/well. The medium is replaced with basal medium 1 hour after initial plating in order to remove dead cells. Medium is changed after 24 hours to basal medium supplemented with 9.5 mM glucose and 10 nM insulin to induce glycogen synthesis, and experiments are performed the next day. The hepatocytes are washed twice with prewarmed (37° C.) buffer A (117.6 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.82 mM Mg₂SO₄, 1.5 mM KH₂PO₄, 20 mM HEPES, 9 mM NaHCO₃, 0.1% w/v HSA, and 2.25 mM CaCl₂, pH 7.4 at 37° C.) and incubated in 100 μl buffer A containing 15 mM glucose and increasing concentrations of the test compound, such as for instance 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 μM, for 180 minutes. Glycogen content is measured using standard procedures (Agius, L. et al, Biochem J. 266, 91-102 (1990). A compound, which when used in this assay gives an significant increase in glycogen content compared to the result from the assay without compound, is deemed to have activity in this assay.

Stimulation of Insulin Secretion by Glucokinase Activators in INS-1E Cells

The glucose responsive β-cell line INS-1E is cultivated as described by Asfari M et al., Endocrinology, 130, 167-178 (1992). The cells are then seeded into 96 well cell culture plates and grown to a density of approximately 5×10⁴ per well. Stimulation of glucose dependent insulin secretion is tested by incubation for 2 hours in Krebs Ringer Hepes buffer at glucose concentrations from 2.5 to 15 mM with or without addition of glucokinase activating compounds in concentrations of for instance 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 μM, and the supernatants collected for measurements of insulin concentrations by ELISA (n=4). A compound, which when used in this assay gives an significant increase in insulin secretion in response to glucose compared to the result from the assay without compound, is deemed to have activity in this assay.
